Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440 

The opal necklace incited a wave of awe and gossip to resound through the hall. Anyone could see just 

how fine the craftsmanship of the opals was and instantly estimated its value to be at least seven digits. 

The Schmidt family was truly being generous tonight by donating this piece! 

Just then, a spotlight fell on Jameson, making the crowd turn their attention to him. Many gasped and 

squealed at how refined this man looked. 

Yet he only had eyes for Alyssa, as if she was the only thing that mattered. 

“Who is he? He’s so handsome. He looks like some carved marble statue!” 

“That must be someone from the Schmidt family. How else could such a precious jewelry piece be available tonight?” 

“I’ve never seen him before! 

“Hmm, if he’s already contributing this much to Ms. Alyssa, does that mean… they’re together?” 

“So what if they are? Ms. Alyssa is a modern-day Queen Sheba. They match very well together!”

She dreamed of having a life like Alyssa’s, with brothers who doted on her at home and suitors everywhere. Unfortunately, that was not the case. All she had was a dumb sister dragging her down! 

“Compose yourself! You’re my daughter, so start acting like it. You’re just as attractive and powerful as she is, so don’t start moping like a useless ragdoll!” Sophia pinched her daughter’s thigh, making Betty cry. 

out in pain. 

That made several guests glare at her. 

“Landon will be my son-in-law, no doubt about that. Your marriage with him is set in stone now, so no one
